Ben also learns a lot about waves and currents.  Email: [email protected] Here is a link to the book referred to in the episode: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/548695.Tracking_Trash.

In this very sweet episode, Malachi explains how important bees are to our world. Ben learns that there is not simply one kind of bee and Winter shows up briefly to make the usual terrible and hilarious joke. Don't forget you can email Malachi at [email protected] or [email protected]!

Welcome to Season 2! After a short break, Malachi and Ben (and Winter) have returned with a new episode about the explorer Christopher Columbus. Malachi breaks down the narrative taught about Columbus and how it has been mythologized and is wrong. Winter also tells quite the silly joke. Please email Malachi for any thoughts, questions, suggestions or anything really - we would love to hear from you! Email him here: [email protected] or [email protected]

It's a new year and that means a new season of Unschooled Malachi! After a brief hiatus, Ben, Malachi, and Winter will be back with new episodes start with one about Christopher Columbus. We may be tackling some different sorts of topics this season and hopefully with your help - email Malachi with ideas, comments, suggestions, questions, jokes, or just about anything at either of his addresses: [email protected] or [email protected]. (That little period in the second email is very important!)

This awesome episode has Malachi explaining carnivorous plants, something Ben thinks is a strange combination. Malachi explains how this happens and Winter and Ben tell some pretty bad jokes. There is also some clarification about the plants in the various Mario video games. 

In today's episode, Malachi shares his knowledge about Vikings and their civilization as well as their lasting influence on modern, popular culture. Ben is particularly blown away by Viking words that we use today and he and Winter tell some really bad jokes. 

In this episode, Malachi introduces us a well known flightless species of bird, the penguin. Ben gets surprised by a really interesting fact of how penguins are able to get out of water. 

Coming off of the episode about tectonic plates, Malachi goes into further details about volcanoes. This time, both Malachi and Ben have pretty bad jokes about volcanoes. And as said in the episode, we have a website now! It is still under construction, but this episode has a page now: https://malachicorneliusba.wixsite.com/unschooledmalachi/post/episode-10-volcanos

Malachi explains the process by which our bodies get its nutrients and energy. Ben also learns a few cool animal facts that are totally new to him. And yes, this episode has some poop in it. 

Malachi explores a topic that we all might take for granted. Ben also sits back while Malachi shares an abundance of ecological information around rivers.
